Colour Character Development

I wanted to start building more on the definitions of each colour character to make them all more distinguished from one another. I have been finding it difficult to envision each colour character as a fully formed personality type because the starting point I had to work from was just 4 adjectives and a few examples of fictional characters that appeared to fit into each category.


I started by cross referencing some of the MBTI types I looked at and categorised into a colour character to find similarities between them, trying to focus on what differentiated them from other personality types.



Blue Character MBTI types:

  • Altruistic- care about helping others or helping the greater good

  • A strong sense of right and wrong

  • Good leaders

  • Hard workers

  • Devoted and thoughtful

  • Dependable and reliable

  • Inspiring and passionate


Green Character MBTI types:

  • Opinionated- dislike being disagreed with

  • Sharp, sarcastic sense of humour

  • They don't like everyone, can often come across as judgmental

  • Can come across as rude when trying to be honest


Orange Character MBTI types:

  • Incredibly entertaining, they have a quick-witted sense of humour

  • Very bold, energetic, charismatic

  • Have a rebellious streak

  • Dislike practical matters and highly organised environments

  • Risk takers

  • Can inadvertently burn bridges through their insensitive sense of humour


Pink Character MBTI types:

  • Extremely social and bubbly

  • Strong aesthetic sense, an eye for fashion

  • Radiate a positive and playful energy

  • Very sensitive, can read too much into other's actions

  • Unfocused, can neglect responsibilities and struggle with self-discipline

  • Empathetic and warm


Purple Character MBTI types:

  • Incredibly open-minded, flexible thinkers

  • Exploratory spirits

  • Need alone time to recharge

  • Curious minds, pensive and passionate about self-expression

  • Creative and free-spirited

  • Fiercely independent


Red Character Character MBTI types:

(On revision, I feel that Virtuoso shows more Orange Character traits but has some Red Character traits as well)

  • Natural born leaders, project authority

  • Strong-willed, honest, direct, dedicated

  • Stick to their principles

  • Good in a crisis, good team leaders and lead by example

  • Can be inflexible and stubborn


Yellow Character MBTI types:

  • Sensitive, caring and supportive

  • Feel called to help and uplift others

  • Shower loved ones with with gestures of care and support

  • Dependable and reliable

  • Very loyal

  • Can be quiet or reserved but have good people skills

  • Can be overly accommodating


Following this, I feel much more confident in the differentiation between each personality type. I think this has allowed me to envision more clearly how each colour character would look and behave.


To further these depictions of each colour character, I decided to create some more mood boards painting a picture of each character as a real person. I focused on female perceptions as I feel this is my core target audience for this brand. Of course, I would love to design products that are suitable for all genders so I am not isolating my target audience in the future but I think it is important as a starting block to focus my attention on perfecting the female demographic, as they are most likely to be my initial interest.
